The Inhabiter

Born into the wild, creator-owned universe of Image Comics, The Inhabiter made their entrance in Freak Force #5 in 1994 — right in the thick of that era's bold, boundary-pushing storytelling — brought to life by the formidable trio of Erik Larsen, Keith Giffen, and Victor Bridges. Across a run touching both Freak Force and the long-running Savage Dragon, this character shares the page with a colorful cast including Barbaric, Mighty Man, and Ricochet, placing them squarely in one of Image's most energetic corners. With 18 catalogued appearances and at least one collector-recognized key issue to their name, The Inhabiter may not be the most ubiquitous figure in the Image universe, but for fans who love digging into the deeper cuts of '90s independent comics, they're exactly the kind of discovery that makes the hunt worthwhile.
